Stripping away the excuses.

by

(Remember this tee? It's time for me to do a new one.  YOU??) I will admit, being the misfit I am, I initially snickered when I opened my assignment email from Sears Fit Studio As I read the words stripping away the excuses I immediately thought of, well, stripping away the excuses. (Just me? really?!  OK. Duly noted.) But after I recovered from my schoolgirl-like giggles I realized it would ... Continue Reading

An ode of love to The Green Nut**

by

(yes the pose was her idea. extra points if you can read what her hat says.) The facts: We (the royal we. the researched we) consume less of foods which require work on our part to shove into our nut-hole consume. The numbers: When pistachio-studied we (don yer crowns! again the royal we.) tend to eat FORTY ONE PERCENT fewer of the green nuts when we have to shell versus having them ... Continue Reading

Loving yourself to change.

Thais is a 20s something yoga dork (her word) with a passion for food and life. You can catch her taking naps in the park with her black lab Caviar or tweeting away about some quote or another. You can check out her corner of the blogging world at letitgo8.  I do love me some Thais. I’m a binge eater. I’m the first to admit it. When things are rough on the inside – I go to food for comfort. ... Continue Reading

Hula Hooping and Self-Love

by

(That's not me hooping in the pic above. This is a guest post. Sorry for confusion.) I picked up my first hula hoop in March of 2008. It was a kid’s hoop, pink and filled with water. I picked it up, and it fell to the floor, again and again and again. I wasn’t really used to being bad at things. That day I practiced until my sides felt bruised, perplexed by how difficult it was - ... Continue Reading

Airrosti WhatWhat?

by

(I know. How is my child *not* scarred by my asking her to take this TMI post-Airrosti pic.) I came.  I saw.  I had my fascia manipulated.  I foam rolled. I got Kinesio taped.  I left. I Airrosti'ed. A few of you warned me I was in for the worst pain in my life. A few of you made me promise Id let you know how it felt as you, too, are searching for relief. I give you my post-Airrosti ...

I want you to want me.

by

Or more aptly put I want you to like me. As in gimmie the thumbs up. On Facebook. I'll spare you the long-winded rehash (as you can find the 57 seconds version here) & give you the short version. Remember these pants? I wasnt exaggerating when I said I was smitten with them. What I didnt know at the time of that post was how *smitten* I was with Fila as a brand. As a ... Continue Reading

Actually, it started long before that (this is your cue to wriggle around & get comfy in your chair.  while this post shall be mercilessly brief there is lottsa navel-gazing coming your way). I was snarfing sushi and talking BRAVO TV debating current affairs with a group ... Continue Reading

The Unnatural Mother.

by

Please to take a seat and stay a while. This is a long post---but a raw honest & heartfelt one. In a hurry? Bookmark Deanna's post for when you have the time. You wont regret it. My story is similar to a lot of women out there trying to lose weight – the classic yo-yo dieter. The yo-yoing began at the age of 12, I remember being on the grapefruit diet and being  “congratulated” by my ... Continue Reading
